The LM13700 Iabc max is 2mA so 4.7k should work fine. Bigger if you don’t use such a high current in your design.

SMT transistor pairs are usually not monolithic so differential heating is very likely. Placing a resistor in series from the transistor to OTA will significantly reduce the thermal mis-match,
